More on false accusations, unjust laws

Mangesh writes "This is a news report from the Indian Express. What I like about this one is police officials have openly admitted that 1) false accusations by women as well as outright harassment of men do happen, 2) Indian law on DV is blatantly anti-male. Harassment of a married woman is punishable with up to 3 years of rigorous imprisonment plus fine. It is also a non-bailable offense (which means husbands can be arrested and held without bail based on the mere complaint by the wife). Harassment of married men is not a criminal offense at all, so the police has no option but to attempt some sort of counselling! The story is here"
